CAUTIONAs with any mechanical equipment, personal injurycan result from contact with sharp sheet metaledges. Be careful when you handle this equipment.

Certifications

SL280DFV units are CSA International certified.

In the USA, installation of gas furnaces must conform with

local building codes. In the absence of local codes, units

must be installed according to the current National Fuel

Gas Code (ANSI-Z223.1). The National Fuel Gas Code is

available from the following address:

American National Standards Institute, Inc.

11 West 42nd Street

New York, NY 10036

Clearances

Adequate clearance must be made around the air open-

ings into the vestibule area. In order to ensure proper unit

operation, combustion and ventilation air supply must be

provided according to the current National Fuel Gas Code.

Vent installations must be consistent with the venting

tables (in this instruction) and applicable provisions of local

building codes.

This furnace is CSA International certified for installation

clearances to combustible material as listed on the unit

nameplate and in the tables in figure 13. Accessibility and

service clearances must take precedence over fire protection

clearances.

Installed Locations

For installation in a residential garage, the furnace must

be installed so that the burner(s) and the ignition source

are located no less than 18 inches (457 mm) above the

floor. The furnace must be located or protected to avoid

physical damage by vehicles. When a furnace is installed

in a public garage, hangar, or other building that has a haz-

ardous atmosphere, the furnace must be installed accord-

ing to recommended good practice requirements and cur-

rent National Fuel Gas Code.

NOTE − Furnace must be adjusted to obtain a temperature

rise (high and low fire) within the range(s) specified on the unit

nameplate. Failure to do so may cause erratic limit operation

and may also result in premature heat exchanger failure.

This SL280DFV furnace must be installed so that its electri-

cal components are protected from water.

Installed in Combination with a Cooling Coil

When this furnace is used with cooling units, it shall be

installed in parallel with, or on the upstream side of, cooling

units to avoid condensation in the heating compartment.

With a parallel flow arrangement, a damper (or other

means to control the flow of air) must adequately prevent

Page 5

chilled air from entering the furnace (see figure 1). If the

damper is manually operated, it must be equipped to pre-

vent operation of either the heating or the cooling unit, un-

less it is in the full HEAT or COOL setting.

When installed, this furnace must be electrically grounded

according to local codes. In addition, in the United States,

installation must conform with the current National Elec-

tric Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70. The National Electric Code

(ANSI/NFPA No. 70) is available from the following ad-

dress:

National Fire Protection Association

1 Battery March Park

Quincy, MA 02269

NOTE − This furnace is designed for a minimum continu-

ous return air temperature of 60°F (16°C) or an intermit-

tent operation down to 55°F (13°C) dry bulb for cases

where a night setback thermostat is used. Return air tem-

perature must not exceed 85°F (29°C) dry bulb.

The SL280DFV furnace may be installed in alcoves, clos-

ets, attics, basements, garages, and utility rooms in the

downflow position.

This furnace design has not been CSA International certi-

fied for installation in mobile homes, recreational vehicles,

or outdoors.

Use of Furnace as Construction Heater

Lennox does not recommend the use of SL280DFV units

as a construction heater during any phase of construction.

Very low return air temperatures, harmful vapors and op-

eration of the unit with clogged or misplaced filters will dam-

age the unit.

SL280DFV units may be used for heating of buildings or

structures under construction, if the following conditions

are met:

� The vent system must be permanently installed per

these installation instructions.

� A room thermostat must control the furnace. The use of

fixed jumpers that will provide continuous heating is not

allowed.

� The return air duct must be provided and sealed to the

furnace.

� Return air temperature range between 60°F (16°C) and

80°F (27°C) must be maintained.

� Air filters must be installed in the system and must be

maintained during construction.

� Air filters must be replaced upon construction comple-

tion.

� The input rate and temperature rise must be set per the

furnace rating plate.

� One hundred percent (100%) outdoor air must be pro-

vided for combustion air requirements during construc-

tion. Temporary ducting may supply outdoor air to the

furnace. Do not connect duct directly to the furnace.

Size the temporary duct following these instructions in

section for Combustion, Dilution and Ventilation Air in a

confined space with air from outside.

� The furnace heat exchanger, components, duct system,

air filters and evaporator coils must be thoroughly

cleaned following final construction clean−up.

� All furnace operating conditions (including ignition, in-

put rate, temperature rise and venting) must be verified

according to these installation instructions.

General

These instructions are intended as a general guide and do

not supersede local codes in any way. Consult authorities

having jurisdiction before installation.

In addition to the requirements outlined previously, the fol-

lowing general recommendations must be considered

when installing a SL280DFV furnace:

� Place the furnace as close to the center of the air dis-

tribution system as possible. The furnace should also be

located close to the chimney or vent termination point.

� Do not install the furnace where drafts might blow direct-

ly into it. This could cause improper combustion and un-

safe operation.

� Do not block the furnace combustion air openings with

clothing, boxes, doors, etc. Air is needed for proper

combustion and safe unit operation.

� When the furnace is installed in an attic or other insu-

lated space, keep insulation away from the furnace.

NOTE − The Commonwealth of Massachusetts stipu-

lates these additional requirements:

� Gas furnaces shall be installed by a licensed plumb-

er or fitter only.

Page 6

� The gas cock must be �T handle" type.

� When a furnace is installed in an attic, the passage-

way to and service area surrounding the equipment

shall be floored.

Combustion, Dilution & Ventilation Air

In the past, there was no problem in bringing in sufficient out-

door air for combustion. Infiltration provided all the air that

was needed. In today’s homes, tight construction practices

make it necessary to bring in air from outside for combus-

tion. Take into account that exhaust fans, appliance vents,

chimneys, and fireplaces force additional air that could be

used for combustion out of the house. Unless outside air is

brought into the house for combustion, negative pressure

(outside pressure is greater than inside pressure) will build

to the point that a downdraft can occur in the furnace vent

pipe or chimney. As a result, combustion gases enter the liv-

ing space creating a potentially dangerous situation.

In the absence of local codes concerning air for combus-

tion and ventilation, use the guidelines and procedures in

this section to install SL280DFV furnaces to ensure effi-

cient and safe operation. You must consider combustion air

needs and requirements for exhaust vents. A portion of this

information has been reprinted with permission from the

National Fuel Gas Code (ANSI-Z223.1). This reprinted ma-

terial is not the complete and official position of the ANSI on

the referenced subject, which is represented only by the

standard in its entirety.

CAUTIONDo not install the furnace in a corrosive or contami-nated atmosphere. Meet all combustion and ventila-tion air requirements, as well as all local codes.

CAUTIONInsufficient combustion air can cause headaches,nausea, dizziness or asphyxiation. It will also causeexcess water in the heat exchanger resulting in rust-ing and premature heat exchanger failure. Excessiveexposure to contaminated combustion air will resultin safety and performance related problems. Avoidexposure to the following substances in the combus-tion air supply:

Permanent wave solutionsChlorinated waxes and cleanersChlorine base swimming pool chemicalsWater softening chemicalsDe-icing salts or chemicalsCarbon tetrachlorideHalogen type refrigerantsCleaning solvents (such as perchloroethylene)Printing inks, paint removers, varnishes, etc.Hydrochloric acidCements and gluesAntistatic fabric softeners for clothes dryersMasonry acid washing materials

All gas-fired appliances require air for the combustion pro-

cess. If sufficient combustion air is not available, the fur-

nace or other appliances will operate inefficiently and un-

safely. Enough air must be provided to meet the needs of all

fuel-burning appliances and appliances such as exhaust

fans which force air out of the house. When fireplaces, ex-

haust fans, or clothes dryers are used at the same time as

the furnace, much more air is necessary to ensure proper

combustion and to prevent a downdraft. Insufficient air

causes incomplete combustion which can result in carbon

monoxide.

In addition to providing combustion air, fresh outdoor air

dilutes contaminants in the indoor air. These contami-

nants may include bleaches, adhesives, detergents, sol-

vents and other contaminants which can corrode furnace

components.

The requirements for providing air for combustion and ven-

tilation depend largely on whether the furnace is installed in

an unconfined or a confined space.

Unconfined Space

An unconfined space is an area such as a basement or

large equipment room with a volume greater than 50 cubic

feet (1.42 m3) per 1,000 Btu (.29 kW) per hour of the com-

bined input rating of all appliances installed in that space.

This space also includes adjacent rooms which are not

separated by a door. Though an area may appear to be un-

confined, it might be necessary to bring in outdoor air for

combustion if the structure does not provide enough air by

infiltration. If the furnace is located in a building of tight

construction with weather stripping and caulking around

the windows and doors, follow the procedures in the air

from outside section.

Page 7

Confined Space

A confined space is an area with a volume less than 50 cu-

bic feet (1.42 m3) per 1,000 Btu (.29 kW) per hour of the

combined input rating of all appliances installed in that

space. This definition includes furnace closets or small

equipment rooms.

When the furnace is installed so that supply ducts carry air

circulated by the furnace to areas outside the space contain-

ing the furnace, the return air must be handled by ducts

which are sealed to the furnace casing and which terminate

outside the space containing the furnace. This is especially

important when the furnace is mounted on a platform in a

confined space such as a closet or small equipment room.

Even a small leak around the base of the unit at the platform

or at the return air duct connection can cause a potentially

dangerous negative pressure condition. Air for combustion

and ventilation can be brought into the confined space either

from inside the building or from outside.

FIGURE 2

Air from Inside

If the confined space that houses the furnace adjoins a

space categorized as unconfined, air can be brought in by

providing two permanent openings between the two

spaces. Each opening must have a minimum free area of 1

square inch (645 mm2) per 1,000 Btu (.29 kW) per hour of

total input rating of all gas−fired equipment in the confined

space. Each opening must be at least 100 square inches

(64516 mm2). One opening shall be within 12 inches (305

mm) of the top of the enclosure and one opening within 12

inches (305 mm) of the bottom. See figure 2.

Air from Outside

If air from outside is brought in for combustion and ventila-

tion, the confined space must have two permanent open-

ings. One opening shall be within 12 inches (305 mm) of the

top of the enclosure and one opening within 12 inches (305

mm) of the bottom. These openings must communicate di-

rectly or by ducts with the outdoors or spaces (crawl or at-

tic) that freely communicate with the outdoors or indirectly

through vertical ducts. Each opening shall have a minimum

free area of 1 square inch (645 mm2) per 4,000 Btu (1.17

kW) per hour of total input rating of all equipment in the en-

closure. See figures 3 and 4. When communicating with

the outdoors through horizontal ducts, each opening shall

have a minimum free area of 1 square inch (645 mm2) per

2,000 Btu (.56 kW) per total input rating of all equipment in

the enclosure. See figure 5.

When ducts are used, they shall be of the same cross−sec-

tional area as the free area of the openings to which they

connect. The minimum dimension of rectangular air ducts

shall be no less than 3 inches (75 mm). In calculating free

area, the blocking effect of louvers, grilles, or screens must

be considered. If the design and free area of protective cov-

ering is not known for calculating the size opening required,

it may be assumed that wood louvers will have 20 to 25 per-

cent free area and metal louvers and grilles will have 60 to

75 percent free area. Louvers and grilles must be fixed in the

open position or interlocked with the equipment so that they

are opened automatically during equipment operation.

Setting Equipment

WARNINGDo not install the furnace on its front, back or in thehorizontal position. See figure 12. Do not connect thereturn air ducts to the back of the furnace. Doing sowill adversely affect the operation of the safety con-trol devices, which could result in personal injury ordeath.

Install the SL280DFV gas furnace as shipped in the

downflow position only. Do not install the furnace hori-

zontally.

Select a location that allows for the required clearances

that are listed on the unit nameplate. Also consider gas

supply connections, electrical supply, vent connection,

and installation and service clearances [24 inches (610

mm) at unit front]. The unit must be level.

NOTE − Units with 1/2 hp blower motors are equipped with

three flexible legs and one rigid leg. See figure 11. The rigid

leg is equipped with a shipping bolt and a flat white plastic

washer (rather than the rubber mounting grommet used

with a flexible mounting leg). The bolt and washer must

be removed before the furnace is placed into opera-

tion. After the bolt and washer have been removed, the rig-

id leg will not touch the blower housing.

WARNINGImproper installation of the furnace can result in per-sonal injury or death. Combustion and flue productsmust never be allowed to enter the return air systemor the living space. Use screws and joint tape to sealthe return air system to the furnace.In platform installations with bottom return air, thefurnace should be sealed airtight to the return air ple-num. A door must never be used as a portion of thereturn air duct system. The base must provide astable support and an airtight seal to the furnace. Al-low absolutely no sagging, cracks, gaps, etc.The return and supply air duct systems must neverbe connected to or from other heating devices suchas a fireplace or stove, etc. Fire, explosion, carbonmonoxide poisoning, personal injury and/or proper-ty damage could result.

Filters

This unit is not equipped with a filter or rack. A field−pro-

vided high−velocity filter is required for the unit to operate

properly. Table 3 lists recommended filter sizes.

A filter must be in place any time the unit is operating.

Duct System

Use industry-approved standards (such as those pub-

lished by Air Conditioning Contractors of America or Ameri-

can Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air Conditioning

Engineers) to size and install the supply and return air duct

system. This will result in a quiet and low-static system that

has uniform air distribution.

NOTE − Do not operate the furnace in the heating mode

with an external static pressure that exceeds 0.8 inches

w.c. Higher external static pressures may cause erratic lim-

it operation.

Ensure that you have made a seal between the supply air

plenum and the furnace and between the furnace and the

return air plenum.

Return Air Plenum

Return air must not be drawn from a room where this

furnace, or any other gas−fueled appliance (i.e., water

heater), or carbon monoxide−producing device (i.e.,

wood fireplace) is installed. When return air is drawn

from a room, a negative pressure is created in the room. If

a gas appliance is operating in a room with negative pres-

sure, the flue products can be pulled back down the vent

pipe and into the room. This reverse flow of the flue gas

may result in incomplete combustion and the formation

of carbon monoxide gas. This toxic gas might then be dis-

tributed throughout the house by the furnace duct sys-

tem.

Venting

A 4−inch diameter flue transition is factory-installed on allmodels. Modifying or removing the flue transition willcause the unit to operate unsafely and will void the unitcertification. The vent connector does not require insula-tion.

The SL280DFV series units are classified as fan−assisted

Category I furnaces when vertically vented according to

the latest edition of National Fuel Gas Code (NFPA 54 /

ANSI Z223.1). A fan−assisted Category I furnace is an ap-

pliance equipped with an integral mechanical means to ei-

ther draw or force combustion products through the com-

bustion chamber and/or heat exchanger.

NOTE − Use these instructions as a guide. They do not su-

persede local codes. This furnace must be vented accord-

ing to all local codes, these installation instructions, and the

provided venting tables in these instructions

The venting tables in this manual were extracted from the

National Fuel Gas Code (NFPA 54 / ANSI Z223.1) and are

provided as a guide for proper vent installation. Proper ap-

plication, termination, construction and location of vents

must conform to local codes having jurisdiction. In the ab-

sence of local codes, the NFGC serves as the defining doc-

ument.

Refer to the tables and the venting information contained in

these instructions to properly size and install the venting

system.

IMPORTANTOnce the venting system is installed, attach the �Dis-connected Vent" warning sticker to a visible area ofthe plenum near the vent pipe. The warning stickeris provided in the bag assembly. Order kit 66W04 foradditional stickers.

WARNINGAsphyxiation hazard. The exhaust vent for this fur-nace must be securely connected to the furnace fluetransition at all times.

Venting Using a Masonry Chimney

The following additional requirements apply when a linedmasonry chimney is used to vent this furnace.

A chimney with one or more sides exposed to the outside ofthe structure is considered to be an exterior chimney.

An exterior masonry chimney that is not tile−lined must be

lined with B1 vent or a listed insulated flexible metal vent.

An exterior tile−lined chimney that is sealed and capped

may be lined with a listed uninsulated flexible metal vent.

If the existing chimney will not accommodate a listed metal

liner, either the chimney must be rebuilt to accommodate

one of these liners or an alternate approved venting meth-

od must be found.

Insulation for the flexible vent pipe must be an encapsu-

lated fiberglass sleeve recommended by the flexible vent

pipe manufacturer. See figure 16.

IMPORTANTSINGLE appliance venting of a fan-assisted furnaceinto a tile-lined masonry chimney (interior or outsidewall) is PROHIBITED. The chimney must first be linedwith either type B1 vent or an insulated single wallflexible vent lining system which has been sized ac-cording to the provided venting tables and the ventpipe manufacturer’s instructions.

A fan−assisted furnace may be commonly vented into anexisting lined masonry chimney if the following conditionsare met:

� The chimney is currently serving at least one drafthoodequipped appliance

� The vent connectors and chimney are sized accordingto the provided venting tables.

If type B1 double-wall vent is used inside a chimney, no oth-

er appliance can be vented into the chimney. The outer wall

of type B1 vent pipe must not be exposed to flue products.

A type B1 vent or masonry chimney liner shall terminate

above the roof surface with a listed cap or a listed roof as-

sembly according to the terms of their respective listings

and the vent manufacturer’s instructions.

When inspection reveals that an existing chimney is not

safe for the intended purpose, it shall be rebuilt to conform

to nationally recognized standards, lined or relined with

suitable materials, or replaced with a gas vent or chimney

suitable for venting SL280DFV series units. The chimney

passageway must be checked periodically to ensure that it

is clear and free of obstructions.

Do not install a manual damper, barometric draft regulator,

or flue restrictor between the furnace and the chimney.

Page 14

Never connect a Category I appliance to a chimney that isservicing a solid−fuel appliance. If a fireplace chimney flueis used to vent this appliance, the fireplace opening mustbe permanently sealed.

A type B or listed chimney lining system that passesthrough an unused masonry chimney flue is not consideredto be exposed to the outdoors.

General Venting Requirements

Vent all SL280DFV furnaces according to these instruc-

tions:

1 − Vent diameter recommendations and maximum allow-

able piping runs are found in the provided venting

tables.

2 − In no case should the vent or vent connector diameter

be less than the diameter specified in the provided

venting tables.

3 − The minimum vent capacity determined by the sizing

tables must be less than the low fire input rating and the

maximum vent capacity must be greater than the high

fire input rating.

4 − Single appliance vents − If the vertical vent or tile-lined

chimney has a larger diameter or flow area than the

vent connector, use the vertical vent diameter to de-

termine the minimum vent capacity and the vent

connector diameter to determine the maximum vent

capacity. The flow area of the vertical vent, however,

shall not exceed 7 times the flow area of the listed ap-

pliance categorized vent area, drafthood outlet area or

flue collar area unless designed according to approved

engineering methods.

5 − Multiple appliance vents − The flow area of the largest

section of vertical vent or chimney shall not exceed 7

times the smallest listed appliance categorized vent

area, drafthood outlet area or flue collar area unless de-

signed according to approved engineering methods.

6 − The entire length of single wall metal vent connector

shall be readily accessible for inspection, cleaning,

and replacement.

7 − Single appliance venting configurations with zero lat-

eral lengths (tables 5 and 6) are assumed to have no

elbows in the vent system. For all other vent configura-

tions, the vent system is assumed to have two 90° el-

bows. For each additional 90° elbow or equivalent (for

example two 45° elbows equal one 90° elbow) beyond

two, the maximum capacity listed in the venting table

should be reduced by 10% (0.90 x maximum listed ca-

pacity).

8 − The common venting tables (7, 8, 9, and 10) were gen-

erated using a maximum horizontal vent connector

length of 1−1/2 feet (.46 m) for each inch (25 mm) of

connector diameter as follows:

TABLE 4

Connector Diameterinches (mm)

Maximum HorizontalConnector Length feet (m)

3 (76) 4−1/2 (1.37)

4 (102) 6 (1.83)

5 (127) 7−1/2 (2.29)

6 (152) 9 (2.74)

7 (178) 10−1/2 (3.20)

9 − If the common vertical vent is offset, the maximum

common vent capacity listed in the common venting

tables should be reduced by 20%, the equivalent of two

90° elbows (0.80 x maximum common vent capacity).

The horizontal length of the offset shall not exceed

1-1/2 feet (.46 m) for each inch (25 mm) of common

vent diameter.

10 − The vent pipe should be as short as possible with the

least number of elbows and angles required to com-

plete the job. Route the vent connector to the vent us-

ing the shortest possible route.

11 − A vent connector shall be supported without any dips

or sags and shall slope a minimum of 1/4 inch (6.4 mm)

per linear foot (305 mm) of connector, back toward the

appliance.

12 − Vent connectors shall be firmly attached to the furnace

flue collar by self−drilling screws or other approved

means, except vent connectors of listed type B vent

material which shall be assembled according to the

manufacturer’s instructions. Joints between sections

of single wall connector piping shall be fastened by

screws or other approved means.

13 − When the vent connector used for Category I ap-

pliances must be located in or pass through a crawl-

space or other areas which may be cold, that portion of

the vent connector shall be constructed of listed

double-wall type B vent material or material having

equivalent insulation qualities.

14 − All venting pipe passing through floors, walls, and ceil-

ings must be installed with the listed clearance to com-

bustible materials and be fire stopped according to lo-

cal codes. In absence of local codes, refer to NFGC

(Z223.1).

15 − No portion of the venting system can extend into, or pass

through any circulation air duct or plenum.

16 − Vent connectors serving Category I appliances shall

not be connected to any portion of mechanical draft

systems operating under positive pressure such as

Category III or IV venting systems.

17 − If vent connectors are combined prior to entering the

common vent, the maximum common vent capacity

listed in the common venting tables must be reduced by

10%, the equivalent of one 90° elbow (0.90 x maximum

common vent capacity).

Page 15

18 − The common vent diameter must always be at least as

large as the largest vent connector diameter.

19 − In no case, shall the vent connector be sized more than

two consecutive table size diameters over the size of

the draft hood outlet or flue collar outlet.

20 − Do not install a manual damper, barometric draft regu-

lator or flue restrictor between the furnace and the

chimney.

21 − When connecting this appliance to an existing dedi-

cated or common venting system, you must inspect the

venting system’s general condition and look for signs

of corrosion. The existing vent pipe size must conform

to these instructions and the provided venting tables. If

the existing venting system does not meet these re-

quirements, it must be resized.

Removal of the Furnace from Common Vent

In the event that an existing furnace is removed from a

venting system commonly run with separate gas ap-

pliances, the venting system is likely to be too large to

properly vent the remaining attached appliances.

Conduct the following test while each appliance is operat-

ing and the other appliances (which are not operating) re-

main connected to the common venting system. If the

venting system has been installed improperly, you must

correct the system as indicated in the general venting re-

quirements section.

WARNINGCARBON MONOXIDE POISONING HAZARD

Failure to follow the steps outlined below for eachappliance connected to the venting system beingplaced into operation could result in carbon mon-oxide poisoning or death.The following steps shall be followed for each ap-pliance connected to the venting system beingplaced into operation, while all other appliancesconnected to the venting system are not inoperation:

1 − Seal any unused openings in the common venting sys-

tem.

2 − Inspect the venting system for proper size and horizontal

pitch. Determine that there is no blockage, restriction,

leakage, corrosion, or other deficiencies which could

cause an unsafe condition.

3 − Close all building doors and windows and all doors be-

tween the space in which the appliances remaining

connected to the common venting system are located

and other spaces of the building. Turn on clothes dry-

ers and any appliances not connected to the common

venting system. Turn on any exhaust fans, such as

range hoods and bathroom exhausts, so they will oper-

ate at maximum speed. Do not operate a summer ex-

haust fan. Close fireplace dampers.

4 − Follow the lighting instructions. Turn on the appliance

that is being inspected. Adjust the thermostat so that

the appliance operates continuously.

5 − After the main burner has operated for 5 minutes, test

for leaks of flue gases at the draft hood relief opening.

Use the flame of a match or candle, or smoke from a

cigarette, cigar, or pipe.

6 − After determining that each appliance connected to the

common venting system is venting properly, (step 3)

return all doors, widows, exhaust fans, fireplace damp-

ers, and any other gas−burning appliances to their pre-

vious mode of operation.

7 − If a venting problem is found during any of the preced-

ing tests, the common venting system must be modi-

fied to correct the problem.

Resize the common venting system to the minimum

vent pipe size determined by using the appropriate

tables in Appendix G. (These are in the current stan-

dards of the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1.

Gas Piping

CAUTIONIf a flexible gas connector is required or allowed bythe authority that has jurisdiction, black iron pipeshall be installed at the gas valve and extend outsidethe furnace cabinet. The flexible connector can thenbe added between the black iron pipe and the gassupply line.

Gas Supply

1 − This unit is shipped standard for left or right side instal-

lation of gas piping. Connect the gas supply to the pip-

ing assembly.

2 − When connecting the gas supply piping, consider fac-

tors such as length of run, number of fittings, and fur-

nace rating to avoid excessive pressure drop. Table 11

lists recommended pipe sizes for typical applications.

3 − The gas piping must not run in or through air ducts,

clothes chutes, gas vents or chimneys, dumb waiters,

or elevator shafts.

4 − The piping should be sloped 1/4 inch (6.4 mm) per 15

feet (4.57 m) upward toward the meter from the fur-

nace. The piping must be supported at proper intervals

[every 8 to 10 feet (2.44 to 3.01 m)] with suitable hang-

ers or straps. Install a drip leg inside vertical pipe runs

to the unit.

5 − A 1/8" N.P.T. plugged tap or pressure post is located

on the gas valve to facilitate test gauge connection.

See figures 26 and 27.

6 − In some localities, codes may require the installation of

a manual main shut-off valve and union (furnished by

the installer) external to the unit. The union must be of

the ground joint type.

IMPORTANTCompounds used on threaded joints of gas pipingmust be resistant to the actions of liquified petro-leum gases.

Leak Check

After gas piping is completed, carefully check all piping

connections (factory− and field−installed) for gas leaks. Use

a leak detecting solution or other preferred means.

NOTE − If emergency shutoff is necessary, shut off the main

manual gas valve and disconnect the main power to the

furnace. The installer should properly label these devices.

CAUTIONSome soaps used for leak detection are corrosive tocertain metals. Carefully rinse piping thoroughly af-ter leak test has been completed. Do not usematches, candles, flame or other sources of ignitionto check for gas leaks.

The furnace must be isolated from the gas supply system

by closing its individual manual shut-off valve during any

pressure testing of the gas supply system at pressures less

than or equal to 1/2 psig (3.48 kPa, 14 inches w.c.).

IMPORTANTWhen testing pressure of gas lines, gas valve mustbe disconnected and isolated. See figure 18. Gasvalves can be damaged if subjected to pressuresgreater than 1/2 psig (3.48 kPa, 14 inches w.c.).

2 − Holes are on both sides of the furnace cabinet to facili-

tate wiring.

3 − Install a separate (properly sized) disconnect switch

near the furnace so that power can be turned off for

servicing.

4 − Before connecting the thermostat or the power wiring,

check to make sure the wires will be long enough for

servicing at a later date. Remove the blower access

panel to check the length of the wire.

5 − Complete the wiring connections to the equipment.

Use the provided unit wiring diagram and the field wir-

ing diagrams shown in table 13 and figure 24. Use

18−gauge wire or larger that is suitable for Class II ra-

ting for thermostat connections.

6 − Electrically ground the unit according to local codes or,

in the absence of local codes, according to the current

National Electric Code (ANSI/NFPA No. 70). A green

ground wire is provided in the field make−up box.

NOTE − The SL280DFV furnace contains electronic

components that are polarity sensitive. Make sure

that the furnace is wired correctly and is properly

grounded.

7 − One line voltage �ACC" 1/4" spade terminal is providedon the furnace integrated control. Any electronic aircleaner or other accessory rated up to one amp can beconnected to this terminal with the neutral leg of the cir-cuit being connected to the one of the provided neutralterminals. See figure 25 for control configuration. Thisterminal is energized when the indoor blower is operat-ing.

8 − An unpowered, normally open (dry) set of contacts witha 1/4" spade terminal �HUM" are provided for humidifi-er connections and may be connected to 24V or 120V.Any humidifier rated up to one amp can be connectedto these terminals. In 120V humidifier applications theneutral leg of the circuit can be connected to one of theprovided neutral terminals. This terminal is energizedin the heating mode.

9 − Install the room thermostat according to the instruc-tions provided with the thermostat. See table 13 forfield wiring connections in varying applications. If thefurnace is being matched with a heat pump, refer to theinstruction packaged with the dual fuel thermostat.

Thermostat Selection

CAUTIONField wiring for both communicating and non−com-municating applications is illustrated in diagrams,which begin on Page 23.

Non−Communicating

In non−communicating applications the SL280DFV is de-signed to operate in a SINGLE−STAGE mode or TWO−STAGE mode using a conventional thermostat.

For optimal performance in non−communicating applica-

tions, Lennox recommends use of a ComfortSense® 7000

high quality electronic digital thermostat or any other with

adjustable settings for 1st stage / 2nd stage on / off differen-

tials and adjustable stage timers.

Lennox recommends the following two−stage thermostatsettings:First heat stage differential set to 1/2 to 1 degree F; secondheat stage differential set to 1/2 or 1 degree F; second heatstage upstage timer disabled, or set to maximum (1 hr mini-mum).

Communicating

In communicating applications the icomfort Touch® ther-

mostat must be used. Refer to the instructions provided

with the thermostat for installation, set−up and operation. In

communicating system all unused thermostat wire in the

wire bundle needs to be terminated inside and out. The ex-

tra wires can terminate on the ’C" terminal of the icomfort�

communication terminal strip. (RSBus). Using an addition-

al wire come off "C" terminal and wire nut all the extra wires

together. Termination on the outdoor control must match

the indoor control.

Indoor Blower Speeds

Non−Communicating

1 − When the thermostat is set to �FAN ON," the indoorblower will run continuously at a field selectable per-centage of the second−stage cooling speed when thereis no cooling or heating demand. The factory defaultsetting is 38% of cool speed.

2 − When the SL280DFV is running in the heating mode,the indoor blower will run on the heating speed desig-nated by the positions of DIP switches 11, 12 and 13.First stage heating will run at 91% heat speed.

3 − When there is a cooling demand, the indoor blower willrun on the cooling speed designated by the positionsof DIP switches 5 and 6. First stage cooling will run at70% cool speed.

Communicating

NOTE − When the SL280DFV is used with icomfort

Touch® thermostat, proper indoor blower speed selec-

tions are made by the communicating thermostat.

1 − When the thermostat is set to �FAN ON," the indoorblower will run at setting determined during systemconfiguration.

2 − When there is a heating demand the fan will run onheating speeds for firing rate.

3 − When there is a cooling demand, the fan will run on thefirst stage and second stage cooling speed set usingthe icomfort Touch® thermostat in the installer setupmode. The factory default is based upon 400 CFM aton.

Page 23

Generator Use − Voltage Requirements

Integrated Control DIP Switch Settings −Conventional Thermostat (non−communi-cating)

SL280DFV units are equipped with a two−stage, variablespeed integrated control. This control manages ignitiontiming, heating mode fan off delays and indoor blowerspeeds based on selections made using the control dipswitches and jumpers. The control includes an internalwatchguard feature which automatically resets the ignitioncontrol when it has been locked out. After one hour of con-tinuous thermostat demand for heat, the watchguard willbreak and remake thermostat demand to the furnace andautomatically reset the control to relight the furnace.

Note: All icomfort� settings are set at the icomfort Touch®

thermostat. See icomfort� installation instruction. In icom-

fort� communication system all DIP switch and clippable

link settings are ignored. For conventional thermostats pro-

ceed with DIP switch and clippable link settings as outlined

in the following.

Heating Operation DIP Switch Settings

Switch 1 −− Thermostat Selection −− This unit may be used

with either a single−stage or two−stage thermostat. The

thermostat selection is made using a DIP switch which

must be properly positioned for the particular application.

The DIP switch is factory−positioned for use with a two−

stage thermostat. If a single−stage thermostat is to be used,

the DIP switch must be repositioned.

Select �OFF" for two−stage heating operation con-trolled by a two−stage heating thermostat (factory set-ting);

b − Select �ON" for two−stage heating operation con-trolled by a single−stage heating thermostat. This set-ting provides a timed delay before second−stage heatis initiated.

Switch 2 −− Second Stage Delay (Used with Single−

Stage Thermostat Only) −− This switch is used to deter-

mine the second stage on delay when a single−stage ther-

mostat is being used. The switch is factory−set in the OFF

position, which provides a 7−minute delay before second−

stage heat is initiated. If the switch is toggled to the ON

position, it will provide a 12−minute delay before second−

stage heat is initiated. This switch is only activated when

the thermostat selector jumper is positioned for SINGLE−

stage thermostat use.

Switches 3 and 4 −− Blower−Off Delay −− The blower−on

delay of 30 seconds is not adjustable. The blower−off delay

(time that the blower operates after the heating demand

has been satisfied) can be adjusted by moving switches 3

and 4 on the integrated control. The unit is shipped from the

factory with a blower−off delay of 90 seconds. The blower

off delay affects comfort and is adjustable to satisfy individ-

ual applications. Adjust the blower off delay to achieve a

supply air temperature between 90° and 110°F at the exact

moment that the blower is de−energized. Longer off delay

settings provide lower supply air temperatures; shorter set-

tings provide higher supply air temperatures.Table 14 pro-

vides the blower off timings that will result from different

switch settings.

Unit Start−Up

FOR YOUR SAFETY READ BEFORE LIGHTING

WARNINGDo not use this furnace if any part has been underwa-ter. Immediately call a licensed professional servicetechnician (or equivalent) to inspect the furnace andto replace any part of the control system and any gascontrol which has been under water.

WARNINGIf overheating occurs or if gas supply fails to shut off,shut off the manual gas valve to the appliance beforeshutting off electrical supply.

CAUTIONBefore attempting to perform any service or mainte-nance, turn the electrical power to unit OFF at dis-connect switch.

WARNINGDuring blower operation, the ECM motor emits ener-gy that may interfere with pacemaker operation. In-terference is reduced by both the sheet metal cabinetand distance.

BEFORE LIGHTING smell all around the appliance area for

gas. Be sure to smell next to the floor because some gas is

heavier than air and will settle on the floor.

The gas valve on the SL280DFV unit will be equipped with

either a gas control switch. Use only your hand to move the

control switch. Never use tools. If the switch will not turn or if

the switch will not move by hand, do not try to repair it.

Force or attempted repair may result in a fire or explosion.

Placing the furnace into operation:

SL280DFV units are equipped with an automatic ignition

system. Do not attempt to manually light burners on these

furnaces. Each time the thermostat calls for heat, the

burners will automatically light. The ignitor does not get

hot when there is no call for heat on units with an automatic

ignition system.

WARNINGIf you do not follow these instructions exactly, a fireor explosion may result causing property damage,personal injury or death.

Gas Valve Operation (Figures 26 and 27)

1 − STOP! Read the safety information at the beginning of

this section.

2 − Set the thermostat to the lowest setting.

3 − Turn off all electrical power to the unit.

4 − This furnace is equipped with an ignition device which

automatically lights the burners. Do not try to light the

burners by hand.

5 − Remove the access panel.

6 − Move switch on gas valve to OFF. Do not force. See

figure 26 or 27.

7 − Wait five minutes to clear out any gas. If you then smell

gas, STOP! Immediately call your gas supplier from a

neighbor’s phone. Follow the gas supplier’s instruc-

tions. If you do not smell gas go to next step.

may need to be repeated to purge air from gas line.

Page 40

12− If the appliance will not operate, follow the instructions

�Turning Off Gas to Unit" and call your service techni-

cian or gas supplier.

Turning Off Gas to Unit

1 − Set the thermostat to the lowest setting.

2 − Turn off all electrical power to the unit if service is to be

performed.

3 − Remove the upper access panel.

4 − Move switch on gas valve to OF. Do not force. See fig-

ure 26 or 27.

5 − Replace the upper access panel.

Failure To Operate

If the unit fails to operate, check the following:

1 − Is the thermostat calling for heat?

2 − Are access panels securely in place?

3 − Is the main disconnect switch closed?

4 − Is there a blown fuse or tripped circuit breaker?

5 − Is the filter dirty or plugged? Dirty or plugged filters willcause the limit control to shut the unit off.

6 − Is gas turned on at the meter?

7 − Is the manual main shut-off valve open?

8 − Is the internal manual shut-off valve open?

9 − Is the unit ignition system in lock out? If the unit locks outagain, call the service technician to inspect the unit forblockages.

10 −Is pressure switch closed? Obstructed flue will causeunit to shut off at pressure switch. Check flue and outletfor blockages.

11 − Is the rollout switch tripped? If the switch is tripped callthe service technician to inspect the unit.

Gas Pressure Adjustment

Gas Flow (Approximate)

Furnace should operate at least 5 minutes before check-

ing gas flow. Determine time in seconds for two revolu-

tions of gas through the meter. (Two revolutions assures a

more accurate time.) Divide by two and compare to time

in table 22 below. If manifold pressure matches table 24

and rate is incorrect, check gas orifices for proper size and

restriction. Remove temporary gas meter if installed.

NOTE − Shut unit off and remove manometer as soon as anaccurate reading has been obtained. Take care to replacepressure tap plug.

Supply Line Pressure

White Rodgers Gas Valve

An inlet post located on the gas valve provides access to

the supply pressure. See figure 27. Back out the 3/32 hex

screw one turn, connect a piece of 5/16 tubing and connect

to a manometer to measure supply pressure. See table 24

for supply line pressure.

Honeywell Gas Valve

A threaded plug on the inlet side of the gas valve provides

access to the supply pressure tap. Remove the threaded

plug, install a field−provided barbed fitting and connect a

manometer to measure supply pressure. See table 24 for

supply line pressure. Replace the threaded plug after mea-

surements have been taken.

Manifold Pressure

NOTE − Pressure test adapter kit (10L34) is available from

Lennox to facilitate manifold pressure measurement.

1 − Connect test gauge to manifold pressure post (figure

26) or tap (figure 27) on gas valve.

2 − Ignite unit on high fire and let run for 5 minutes to allow

for steady state conditions.

3 − After allowing unit to stabilize for 5 minutes, record

manifold pressure and compare to value given in table

24.

4 − If necessary, make adjustments. Figures 26 and 27

show location of high fire adjustment screw.

5 − If an adjustment is made on high fire, re−check man-

ifold pressure on low fire. Do not adjust low fire man-

ifold pressure. If low fire manifold pressure is more

than 1/2" above or below value specified in table 24,

replace valve.

Proper Combustion

Furnace should operate minimum 15 minutes with correct

manifold pressure and gas flow rate before checking com-

bustion. Table 23 shows acceptable combustion for ALL

SL280DFV models.

Other Unit Adjustments

Primary and Secondary Limits

The primary limit is located on the heating compartment

vestibule panel. The secondary limits (if equipped) are lo-

cated in the blower compartment, attached to the back side

of the blower. These limits are factory set and require no

adjustment.

Flame Rollout Switch

This manually reset switch is located on the burner box. If

tripped, check for adequate combustion air before reset-

ting.

Pressure Switches

The pressure switch assembly (includes two switches) is

located in the heating compartment adjacent to the com-

bustion air inducer. These switches check for proper com-

bustion air inducer operation before allowing ignition trial.

The switches are factory−set and require no adjustment.

Temperature Rise

Place the unit into operation with a second−stage heating de-

mand. After supply and return air temperatures have stabi-

lized, check the temperature rise. If necessary, adjust the

heating blower speed to maintain the temperature rise within

the range shown on the unit nameplate. Increase the blower

speed to decrease the temperature rise. Decrease the blow-

er speed to increase the temperature rise. Failure to properly

adjust the temperature rise may cause erratic limit operation

and may result in premature heat exchanger failure.

Thermostat Heat Anticipation

Set the heat anticipator setting (if adjustable) according to

the amp draw listed on the wiring diagram that is attached

to the unit.

Heating Sequence of Operation

Electronic IgnitionThe two−stage, variable speed integrated control used inSL280DFV units has an added feature of an internal Watch-guard control. The feature serves as an automatic reset de-vice for ignition control lockout caused by ignition failure.This type of lockout is usually due to low gas line pressure.After one hour of continuous thermostat demand for heat,the Watchguard will break and remake thermostat demandto the furnace and automatically reset the control to beginthe ignition sequence.NOTE − The integrated control thermostat selection DIP switchis factory−set in the �TWO−STAGE" position.

Applications Using a Two−Stage ThermostatSee figure 28 for ignition control sequence

A − Heating Sequence −− Integrated Control ThermostatSelection DIP Switch 1 OFF in �Two−Stage" Position(Factory Setting) 1 − On a call for heat, thermostat first−stage contacts close

sending a signal to the integrated control. The inte-grated control runs a self-diagnostic program andchecks high temperature limit switches for normallyclosed contacts and pressure switches for normallyopen contacts. The combustion air inducer is ener-gized at low speed.

2 − Once the control receives a signal that the low pres-sure switch has closed, the combustion air inducer be-gins a 15−second pre−purge in low speed.NOTE − If the low fire pressure switch does not closethe combustion air inducer will switch to high fire. Aftera 15 second pre−purge the high fire pressure switchwill close and the unit will begin operation on high fire.After 10 to 20 seconds of high fire operation the unitwill switch to low fire..

3 − After the pre−purge is complete, a 20−second initial ig-nitor warm−up period begins. The combustion air in-ducer continues to operate at low speed.

4 − After the 20−second warm−up period has ended, the gasvalve is energized on low fire (first stage) and ignition oc-curs. At the same time, the control module sends a sig-nal to begin an indoor blower 30−second ON−delay.When the delay ends, the indoor blower motor is ener-gized on the low fire heating speed, the HUM contactsclose energizing the humidifier and 120V ACC termi-nal is energized. The furnace will continue this opera-tion as long as the thermostat has a first−stage heatingdemand.

5 − If second−stage heat is required, the thermostat sec-ond−stage heat contacts close and send a signal to theintegrated control. The integrated control initiates a30−second second−stage recognition delay.

6 − At the end of the recognition delay, the integrated con-trol energizes the combustion air inducer at highspeed. The control also checks the high fire (secondstage) pressure switch to make sure it is closed. Thehigh fire (second stage) gas valve is energized and theindoor blower motor is energized for operation at thehigh fire heating speed.

7 − When the demand for high fire (second stage) heat issatisfied, the combustion air inducer is switched to thelow−fire heating speed and the high−fire (secondstage) gas valve is de−energized. The low−fire (firststage) gas valve continues operation. The indoorblower motor is switched to the low−fire heating speed.

8 − When the thermostat demand for low−fire (first stage)heat is satisfied, the gas valve is de−energized and thefield−selected indoor blower off delay begins. Thecombustion air inducer begins a 5−second post−purgeperiod.

9 − When the combustion air post−purge period is com-plete, the inducer, the HUM contacts as well as the120V ACC terminals are de−energized. The indoorblower is de−energized at the end of the off delay.

Applications Using A Single−Stage ThermostatSee figure 29 for ignition control sequence

B − Heating Sequence −− Control Thermostat SelectionDIP Switch 1 ON in �Single−Stage" PositionNOTE − In these applications, two−stage heat will be initi-ated by the integrated control if heating demand has notbeen satisfied after the field adjustable period (7 or 12 min-utes). 1 − On a call for heat, thermostat first−stage contacts close

sending a signal to the integrated control. The inte-grated control runs a self-diagnostic program andchecks high temperature limit switches for normallyclosed contacts and pressure switches for normallyopen contacts. The combustion air inducer is ener-gized at low speed.

2 − Once the control receives a signal that the low pres-sure switch has closed, the combustion air inducer be-gins a 15−second pre−purge in low speed.NOTE − If the low fire pressure switch does not closethe combustion air inducer will switch to high fire. Aftera 15 second pre−purge the high fire pressure switchwill close and the unit will begin operation on high fire.After 10 to 20 seconds of high fire operation the unitwill switch to low fire.

3 − After the pre−purge is complete, a 20−second initial ig-nitor warm−up period begins. The combustion air in-ducer continues to operate at low speed.

4 − After the 20−second warm−up period has ended, the gasvalve is energized on low fire (first stage) and ignition oc-curs. At the same time, the control module sends a sig-nal to begin an indoor blower 30−second ON−delay.When the delay ends, the indoor blower motor is ener-gized on the low fire heating speed and the HUM con-tacts are energized. The integrated control also initi-ates a second−stage on delay (factory−set at 7minutes; adjustable to 12 minutes).

5 − If the heating demand continues beyond the second−stage on delay, the integrated control energizes thecombustion air inducer at high speed. The control alsochecks the high fire (second stage) pressure switch tomake sure it is closed. The high fire (second stage)gas valve is energized and the indoor blower motor isenergized for operation at the high fire heating speed.

6 − When the thermostat heating demand is satisfied, thecombustion air inducer begins a 5−second low speedpost−purge. The field−selected indoor blower off delaybegins. The indoor blower operates at the low−fireheating speed.

7 − When the combustion air post−purge period is com-plete, the inducer, the HUM contacts as well as the120V ACC terminals are de−energized. The indoorblower is de−energized at the end of the off delay.

Service

WARNINGELECTRICAL SHOCK, FIRE,OR EXPLOSION HAZARD.

Failure to follow safety warnings exactly could resultin dangerous operation, serious injury, death orproperty damage.Improper servicing could result in dangerous opera-tion, serious injury, death, or property damage.Before servicing, disconnect all electrical power tofurnace.When servicing controls, label all wires prior to dis-connecting. Take care to reconnect wires correctly.Verify proper operation after servicing.

At the beginning of each heating season, a licensed profes-

sional technician (or equivalent) should check the system

as follows:

Blower

Check the blower wheel for debris and clean if necessary.

The blower motors are prelubricated for extended bearing

life. No further lubrication is needed.

WARNINGThe blower access panel must be securely in placewhen the blower and burners are operating. Gasfumes, which could contain carbon monoxide, canbe drawn into living space resulting in personal inju-ry or death.

Filters

All SL280DFV filters are installed external to the unit. Fil-

ters should be inspected monthly. Clean or replace the fil-

ters when necessary to ensure that the furnace operates

properly. Replacement filters must be rated for high veloc-

ity airflow. Table 3 lists recommended filter sizes.

Flue And Chimney

1 − Check flue pipe, chimney and all connections for tight-ness and to make sure there is no blockage.

2 − Check unit for proper draft.

Electrical

1 − Check all wiring for loose connections.

2 − Check for the correct voltage at the furnace (furnace

operating). Correct voltage is 120VAC + 10%.

3 − Check amp−draw on the blower motor with inner blow-er access panel in place.Unit Nameplate__________Actual__________

Planned Service

The following items should be checked during an annual inspection. Power to the unit must be shut off for the service techni-

cian’s safety.

Fresh air grilles and louvers (on the unit and in the room

where the furnace is installed) − Must be open and unob-

structed to provide combustion air.

Burners − Must be inspected for rust, dirt, or signs of water.

Vent pipe − Must be inspected for signs of water, damaged

or sagging pipe, or disconnected joints.

Unit appearance − Must be inspected for rust, dirt, signs

of water, burnt or damaged wires, or components.

Blower access door − Must be properly in place and pro-

vide a seal between the return air and the room where the

furnace is installed.

Return air duct − Must be properly attached and provide

an air seal to the unit.

Operating performance − Unit must be observed during

operation to monitor proper performance of the unit and the

vent system.

Combustion gases − Flue products must be analyzed and

compared to the unit specifications.

Problems detected during the inspection may make it nec-

essary to temporarily shut down the furnace until the items

can be repaired or replaced.

Instruct the homeowners to pay attention to their

furnace. Situations can arise between annual furnace in-

spections that may result in unsafe operation. For instance,

items innocently stored next to the furnace may obstruct

the combustion air supply. This could cause incomplete

combustion and the production of carbon monoxide gas.

E 406 LSOM − Compressor open start circuit. Required amount of current is not passing throughStart current transformer. Clears the error after cur-rent is sensed in START sensor, or after power re-set.

E 407 LSOM − Compressor open run circuit. Required amount of current is not passing throughRun current transformer. Clears the error after cur-rent is sensed in RUN sensor, or 1 normal compres-sor run cycle, or after power reset.

E 408 LSOM − Compressor contactor is welded. Compressor runs continuously. Clears the errorafter 1 normal compressor run cycle or after powerreset.

E 409 LSOM − Compressor low voltage. Secondary voltage is below 18VAC. After 10 min-utes, operation is discontinued. Clears the codeafter voltage is higher than 20 VAC for 2 seconds orafter power reset.

Program Unit Capacity/Size Mode

Power−Up − Number displayed represents by integrated control unit size code (furnace modeland capacity). If three horizontal bars are displayed followed by continuous E203, furnacecontrol does not recognize unit size code. Configure per the following:

Furnace control in IDLE mode No heating, cooling or indoor fan

operation)

To enter Program UnitCapacity/Size: pushand hold button next to7−segment LED displayuntil solid �P" symbolappears. Releasebutton.

Turn room thermostat to OFF

Solid P startsblinking on7−Segment LED

Push and hold button. Integrated control willdisplay unit size code number for eachfurnace model for three seconds.

When the correct unit size code is displayed, releasebutton. Selected code will flash for 10−second period.During that period, press and hold push button for 5seconds. Integrated control will store code inmemory and will automatically exit Program UnitCapacity/Size Mode and reset. (If second periodexpires or push button is held less than five seconds,control will automatically exit ProgramCapacity/Size Mode and go into IDLE mode withoutstoring unit size code. If this happens, programmingfunction must be repeated).

Verify that the selected unit size code is correctand stored in non−volatile memory by cyclingthe 24 volt power to the furnace control. (At 24volt power−up of the furnace control, the7−segment LED will display a unit size code. Ifthree horizontal bars display, board does notrecognize unit size code. Programmingfunction must be repeated)

Yes No

IMPORTANT: Field replacement controls mayneed to be manually configured to validatefurnace unit size code.
